Grendel - Behold the Devil #5

So, Grendel knows that something is following him - and it has 3 toes!  This issue opens with Grendel going underground where he encounters some zombies, who he easily dispatches.  Turns out these dead minions belong to a Santeria priest named Toro.  Grendel asks if he knows what is tailing him; Toro reveals it's a dire-imp.  It can be contained, Toro says, but for a price: 1 million dollars.

Lucas spies on Hunter; Liz talks to one of Grendel's lieutenants, who refuses to squeel.

Grendel knocks off a bank truck and gets Toro his money.  In exchange the Devil gains the tools needed to trap the dire-imp and get back to business as normal.

This was a fine issues - the zombie killing was pretty cool.  This issue sets the stage for the events to come - it's been up hill since about the third issue and the roller coaster is at the top of the hill.  The last three issues of this series are the real pay off. 

So, until tomorrow - happy reading
